The sickest IG account. Courtesy of my girlfriend Annie, who is a florist herself, Charlie McCormick is a gardener in West Dorset, England. His account is dedicated to the stunning flowers and vegetables he grows. Perfect Dahlias, onions… everything he grows. Award winning. And a massive fucking squash. If it doesn’t make your tired heart yearn for the more pastoral side of life, it at least makes you happy to be alive, alongside growing proof of divinity.

She primarily draws food and particularly these daily life tablescapes that I really love. She also did a series on the olympics this summer that was really cool (linked to check it out on her instagram).

A great place to start if you want to learn about design. Each week she focuses on a new subject (a designer, movement, object—mostly furniture/architecture/interiors but touches on all kinds) and does one post a day about the subject. 7 posts in total. There is so much design content on ig and so little of it gives any credit to the designer much less any background. A sweet way to incorporate some learning into your day.
@ james_zemaitis is another informative design account. The director of R and Co., a heavy hitting design gallery in NYC, his content is mostly about current exhibitions (all over the country/world not just nyc) and gives context and background to the pieces as well as some interesting lil facts. The type of info that is surprisingly hard to find if you’re just googling.

My favorite poet Frank O’Hara reading one of his most famous poems. It’s a lovely, modern love poem, and something I return to when I need to feel a little more romance in my life.

Austin is the photog I keep on retainer. The cowboy of cowboy coffee, he has an impeccable eye for photo and lighting. A former trophy winner himself, he’s been re-entering the world of rodeo, studying the culture and showing you the heart below the red neck.

A film that someone called a “tone poem”??? about the few things in life we get to really care about. It’s a sullen, deeply hurt performance from Nic, fighting for the principle of the things he loves. It felt a bit like Roadrunner, the Bourdain flick, in its celebration of the hard work us food and bevvies do- an insight into how we think and feel about our jobs. It resonated with me, it felt like relief.
